We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a difference of convex (DC, for short) functions, defined on a locally convex space, to be Lipschitz continuous. Our criterion relies on the intersections of the "epsilon-subdifferentials of…
Probability functions figure prominently in optimization problems of engineering. They may be nonsmooth even if all input data are smooth.This fact motivates the consideration of subdifferentials for such typically just continuous…
This article provides a definition of a subdifferential for continuous functions based on homological considerations. We show that it satisfies all the requirement for a good notion of subdifferential. Moreover, we prove sublinearity, a…
Submodular set-functions have many applications in combinatorial optimization, as they can be minimized and approximately maximized in polynomial time. A key element in many of the algorithms and analyses is the possibility of extending the…
The goal of this paper is to establish a general fixed point theorem for compact single-valued continuous mapping in Hausdorff p-vector spaces, and the fixed point theorem for upper semicontinuous set-valued mappings in Hausdorff locally…
The paper extends the widely used in optimisation theory decoupling techniques to infinite collections of functions. Extended concepts of uniform lower semicontinuity and firm uniform lower semicontinuity are discussed. The main theorems…
We discuss variants of construction of measurable subgradients for multivariate convex functions and the problem of characterization of the $\Delta_2$-condition in terms of their directional derivatives. Furthermore we study related basic…
This article shows a very elementary and straightforward proof of the Implicit Function Theorem for differentiable maps $F(x,y)$ defined on a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. There are no hypothesis on the continuity of the partial…
In the first part, we discuss the stability of the strong slope and of the subdifferential of a lower semicontinuous function with respect to Wijsman perturbations of the function, i.e. perturbations described via Wijsman convergence. In…
By using the theory of first-order differential subordination for functions with fixed initial coefficient, several well-known results for subclasses of univalent functions are improved by restricting the functions to have fixed second…
We use the framework of a type of abstract convexity ($\Phi_{lsc}$-convexity) to investigate properties of lower semicontinuous quadratically minorized functions in Hilbert spaces. A new result, which states that, for every local…
We discuss some surprising phenomena from basic calculus related to oscillating functions and to the theorem on the differentiability of inverse functions. Among other things, we see that a continuously differentiable function with a strict…
By considering a fixed point in unit disk $\Delta$, a new class of univalent convex functions is defined. Coefficient inequalities, integral operator and extreme points of this class are obtained.

The l0 pseudonorm counts the nonzero coordinates of a vector. It is often used in optimization problems to enforce the sparsity of the solution. However, this function is nonconvex and noncontinuous, and optimization problems formulated…
We study bounded pseudoconvex domains in complex Euclidean spaces. We find analytical necessary conditions and geometric sufficient conditions for a domain being of trivial Diederich--Forn\ae ss index (i.e. the index equals to 1). We also…
